Urban planning plank:

we should publish a 925 page rebuttal to project 2025 that includes policies like legalizing molly, mandating eating ass, and a three day work week. we’ll put 100 justices on the supreme court and liquidate private equity firms. really hit the gas on moving the overton window. ban pickleball too.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Supreme Court Gives Its Blessing to Trump’s Criminalitywww.theatlantic.com And gives him permission for a despotic second term.

essentially if dems don’t win this stupid election it’s over. and it’s going to be the whole world’s problem on a level people didn’t anticipate imo

There is not enough room in all the shelters in Oregon; now, there shall not be enough room in our jails. Practicing compassionate politics just became an anachronism.

First decision is Grants Pass. Gorsuch has the 6-3 opinion finding that the Eighth Amendment does not bar "generally applicable" laws banning public camping. Sotomayor writes the dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

i'm the president

The Kyle Filipowski story is weird but it’s insane how much labor his GF is putting in on behalf of the Smith family, who are multibillionaires and do not need such charity.

How many real, actual NBA games does Bronny see minutes in next season. I bet it’s >10.

Nobody has watched Boston College basketball since Jared Dudley rocked an Eagles uniform

Buncha prison guards romanticizing their HS football days without water breaks, directed by sadistic coaches

Over the past two decades, nearly 13,000 people have perished behind bars during America's summer months. As heat waves have become more common, these deaths have worsened. capitalbnews.org/michael-broa...

Thinking on it, the Jazz might be my only winner in this tissue-thin first round. Two very fine selections. Atlanta did get the correct No. 1 pick. Detroit getting Ron Holland at No. 5 feels like a win as well. Houston is far and away my biggest loser, and Charlotte got mad speculative at No. 6.

Really like the Isaiah Collier pick for Utah. Not as much on team fit; the Jazz just get a really solid athlete and basketball player at a moment of deep speculation

Put Pacôme Dadiet’s full name on the back of his jersey!

Both ESPN and ABC giving details on Shannon's charges and trial rather than glossing over it which feels different than the past

First-round pick emerging from the stands!

We need more NBA Draft picks with dads or uncles taller than they are

I’m inspired by Matas Buzelis. Those are tears of victory.

Love that the Grizzlies, the NBA team that has most bucked convention of body types in specific positions, takes Zach Edey. Pretty great. No threat to Jaren Jackson Jr.’s minutes either

Forget Frenchmen, freshmen, etc. Most of these high NBA Draft picks are no longer STARTING for teams. What is up with that?

The Portland Trail Blazers looked at themselves in the mirror and said, we’ve gotta get more White players

Love the Spurs bringing the intrigue. I think Castle is fine. Probably shouldn’t start

Reed Sheppard is the reason LinkedIn influencer bosses think every millennial brings their parents with them to job interviews

Houston has a couple crazy dudes, Reed Sheppard might not survive that rookie hazing

First two picks are the right two picks IMO

Abolish Baylor University

My hottest take for this year’s draft is that Reed Sheppard is just Payton Pritchard with more water carriers

I really like Andraya Carter but she’s gonna want to walk back her comment about Bronny James’ return from cardiac arrest as an example of stellar work ethic.

PPB is going to rack up thousands of hours of overtime with all the Gaza protests at Blazers games this year

The Portland Trail Blazers are not reading the room here

This is, again, an entire sport best known in the U.S. for repeatedly driving die-hards and casuals away (like Sha’Carri Richardson’s positive pot test)

I started covering track and field at the college/pro levels in 2008 and USATF leadership would have been excreting their body weight if you had brought this skeet to them then. I’m genuinely serious when I say that this is good for the sport, and the culture.
